Rambo First Blood Part II (1985)

Coming Back From Vietnam Movie #3 (This would have been perfect for my tribute to Revenge films a few years ago) 

Synopsis: Sylvester Stallone single-handedly wipes out most of Communist Vietnam’s peacetime army and an entire company of Soviet commandos. 

Blurb From the DVD Jacket: “THE ULTIMATE AMERICAN ACTION HERO IS BACK!” 

What Did I Learn?: 1) Apparently, it’s impossible to hit anything with a machine-gun. (Oh wait - I think I learned that from Where Eagles Dare). 2) Ok, I realize Rambo is essentially indestructible when it comes to bullets and explosions, but there’s a scene of him up to his neck in run-off water from a pig stye, and he’s bleeding. I guess he doesn’t have to worry about an e-coli infection. 3) Was it really necessary to use an exploding arrowhead to finish off that sadistic Vietnamese Colonel? 

You Might Like This Movie If: You want to see the film that inspired this parody....and this parody....and this parody... and this parody....and this parody. 

Really?: Um…. see “Synopsis” and “What Did I Learn?” 

Rating: Rambo: First Blood Part II is a fun and exciting 1980s action flick that’s marred by highly unbelievable combat sequences and a nearly cartoonish third act. Still, I love the moment when Rambo leans into the Soviet microphone and informs Murdoch he should prepare himself for a world of pain. 6/10 stars.
